so the prof. says they do nothing? They do look kinda strange you can have both feet down on the pedal stroke.I wonder what they are like when you are sprinting or climbing out of the saddle? Cheers

I know the person at Pez that is testing them. I believe Roy knows him too...:)
I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith into the review, but thats just me.......

well the best way is then for all the people that are really interested to ask that testing report its public becuase it was a exam study at his end of the study

Max Testa isn't exactly a dog snot source...

I noted them on Velonews on Garzelli's bike at the tour (not that his results are a great testament) and know a slew of euro's that run these at variouse times during the year with pretty good results. I know a few folks that earn a paycheck on a bike (not sent from powercranks) that swear to them...
